Within last few days two Ukrainian planes were shot down in this part of Ukraine (remaining under control of the pro-Russian separatists). The 1st plane were shot down by the separatist (they admitted it) and the 2nd one (the fighter jet) by the Russians.

The access to the Malaysian plane wreckage is already blocked by the separatists and they announced their intention to pass the remains to the Russians (for investigation).

It's not hard to imagine where will this lead to and I am surprised no seeing yet some flying propaganda claiming the Ukrainians shot it down to push the blame to the Russians.

Sad to hear about the Malaysia plane. I'm also bracing myself for people over-reacting and blaming the airline considering any plane could have been shot down by flying through a conflict zone. The responsibility lies with those who did not close out an area where ground-to-air missile batteries are operating constantly. Planes did not fly over the Balkans in the early 90's and there was a good reason for that.

1. It wasn't over warzone. The aircraft was flying outside the border of Ukraine. That route was an open route so you cannot say that the pilots "deliberately flout safety procedures to save fuel."

2. It was hit by ground-to-air Buk missile, a military weapon.

3. Whether it was an accident or intentional, someone will pay for it.

This was really unacceptable. With most of the casualties from The Netherlands, EU will be force the hand of UN to do something. With many nations added into the list of casualties from Ukraine-Russia crisis, will this lead to another WW?
